It was my great pleasure to play for Ryan and Emily on their wedding day. They had some specific requests for music. Some traditional Irish and Scottish tunes as well as one not traditional at all. They are both big Beatles fans and they requested that I play “Here Comes the Sun” for them as they walked down the aisle for the first time as man and wife. Now not all songs can be adapted to the bagpipes but I told them I would try.

Later I was able to Skype with them and play some of the tunes they had selected for the wedding as they were in Manhattan preparing for the wedding in So Cal. This helped tremendously and they were very happy I was able to figure out their requested Beatles tune on the pipes.

On the big day the venue was decorated and looked wonderful. I was able to perform for them and everything went perfectly- at least from my perspective. Check out the review of the wedding at 100 Layer Cake.
